Is there a way I can get rid of the sediment in my wines and meads?
Time and gravity are your friends. If you wish to speed up the process, once fermentation is done, you can use fining agents such as SuperKleen. Works great. I usually let time and gravity work and my wines clear just fine.
It seems that the meades I've made till now have taken much longer to clear than wine. It's like the yeast stay in suspension till every gram of sugar is gone, then falls out in a few weeks time. My most recent batch fermented fairly warm, about 75 f, and it took about 3 months before it was what I consider to be clear. Like the post above said, give it time .
Rack the liquid off the sediment into a fresh carboy every 45-60 days. Let everything settle, then repeat.
I rack 4-6 times over a year and I still get a lot of sediment after I bottle/ Can I stop the sediment from getting in the bottles?
Ok just so I understand. Are you saying that once fermentation has stopped I should then move the carboy to a location that is 40 degrees or cooler for about 60 days? Again I let my wines and meads sit for one year. So in this case you are saying at month 10 move to colder storage for two months?

Lenoir Community College engineering student Kayland Reid Adams has been selected as an Academic Excellence Award recipient, representing the college in the "Great Within the 58" in the North Carolina Community College System.
Adams is employed full time with the City of Kinston as a mechanic and is a full time student at LCC. Maintaining a 4.0 average, Adams plans to graduate in May and transfer to East Carolina University in Engineering.
He has also been nominated for the Jack Cooke Kent Scholarship.
"After I graduated from high school, I began a career as an automotive technician," Adams said. "At first, I was satisfied with my career choice, and the fact that I never went to college. Over time, I realized that I did not want to repair and maintain vehicles for the rest of my life. I wanted to design and manufacture them, but that was going to require a college degree."
Adams said he contemplated the idea of going back to school for years coming up with all kinds of excuses. "Then my wife informed me of LCC's 2+2 Engineering transfer program, it was exactly what I had been looking for. I enrolled as soon as could," he said. "I was somewhat intimidated at first, I had been out of school for several years and did not know what to expect, but everyone at LCC was so helpful and welcoming. I felt right at home almost instantly.
"The instructors at LCC are so knowledgeable in their respective fields. I feel that they have given me the necessary tools to succeed at the university level as I plan to continue my education, and obtain a Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from East Carolina University," he said. "LCC has allowed me to turn my dreams into realities, and for that I am grateful."

Pitiful? (616 comments)
What part of more than three-quarters of a billion dollars is "pitiful"?
That assumes they come visit only if they "want" (629 comments)
What about "need"? What if they NEED to come visit us for some reason? Either to satisfy their hyper-intellectual curiosity about what other life exists in the universe, or just to murder us and rape our natural resources a la Independence Day and every other Sci Fi movie about marauding alien cultures..?
Assuming that aliens will not visit us with those reasons is to assume that travelling the universe and meeting other cultures is justifiable only on a whim, a literal flight of fancy.. this is, in fact, the opening of Star Trek (to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no (man|one) has gone before..) but that doesn't mean to say that this is the only justification to do so and that if you were a hyper-brained hyper-culture that you just wouldn't give so much of a shit..
Re:Tron 1.0 (412 comments)
There are only 15 minutes of actual computer generated effects in the whole thing: all in all, not a great deal at all. Grid bugs, light cycles, tanks, the mountains in the background when on the solar sailer, but otherwise, the vast majority of the original Tron was hand-animated, pretty much in every scene where there's a person in it as well as some scenery. It's all cleverly disguised matte painting, cel shading. The light cycle scene where they escape the game grid is mostly CG but every time it cuts to the view of the cockpit.. that's traditional animation. The setup of the bikes is traditional. The glowy lines on everything.
But that's besides the point anyway, I found it on watching it again last week (after watching it every 4 or 5 years or so out of sheer curiosity to see how well it matches my nostalgia of it from watching it on VHS when I was a kid, and in preparation for the new movie just so I could be even more giddy at the new shiny CG)
What I think was much better is how Jeff Bridges has decided that Flynn, after 20 years living in exile on the Grid and a decent amount of sitting on a pillow, has turned into The Dude. I dunno it just made the character so much more fucking interesting than the 80's jerk Flynn was in the original movie. At the same time though, not enough Alan Bradley/Tron even in flashbacks. Did they really spend that much money on Jeff's face but didn't bother with any other actor? His role ends up fairly pivotal and is a setup for a sequel but they didn't even bother making it much more than a cameo. The damn movie is *CALLED* Tron.

Re:Uhh... what's wrong with Component? (221 comments)
oh so you just don't get to play your old HD-DVDs or watch DVDs in 1080p (not that they were anyway, right
It still holds true that you need to manually configure your Xbox360 to display anything more than 480p (especially as a lot of cheap HDTVs don't do EDID properly over HDMI, so the Xbox decides it has no idea how to autoconfigure it) and I am betting most people don't delve into that 4-layers-down menu item, and when they GET the system for the first time and it does the setup wizard, they just go clickclickclick to get past it and run GAMES instead of dicking around.
Uhh... what's wrong with Component? (221 comments)
Both consoles come with Component cables and the ability to output 1080i video on them, 720p at the very least.
The quality of the graphics from Component or HDMI is really not noticable for the vast majority of people - the REAL problem comes when you sit down and you have your HDTV with a lot of things connected, and your TV comes with 3 HDMI ports and only 1 set of Component inputs, which you may already be using for your DirecTV DVR..
The difference? Your XBox will default to 480p if it's using Component - perhaps even HDMI - and without knocking the settings up, games will play at the lower resolution. The statistics for Gears of War may be down to people just not changing their settings.
Re:Reverse causation (512 comments)
I don't agree.
"Realizing how the world runs" should not make you depressed. It's actually very easy to get through life with clinical depression without worrying about what George W. Bush did, about terrorists, about capitalism, about DRM and other things Slashdot readers get huffy about, because you're usually more often than not mired in some personal difficulty, not something about how the world "runs". This is from experience.
I must say the whole analytical breaking down things in to small chunks fits MY worldview. But I don't concern myself with bigger world issues; not that I don't care, but they just don't affect me. Part of dealing with depression is picking what to be depressed about. And if you're spending all your time having anxiety attacks and downward slumps and moody funks about what a politician is doing in another state, or who is suing who for patent rights, or the state of Somalia, you are going to have far more personal problems hit you in the ass later on than you can probably deal with adequately.
What's wrong with CS4 (270 comments)

Use a real, reliable filesystem (289 comments)
Forget it. ext4 is still not stable even though they took the "dev" tag off. The filesystem is going to have problems upon problems upon problems for months and months and months and you're going to be looking at updating and patching kernels in perpetuity to keep up with those patches. The only thing they stabilized was featureset and on-disk format.
If you want the features of ext4 for production, you should already be running XFS. You can't get much better on Linux filesystems these days. By the time ext4 gets to be "production worthy" (by this I mean has spent a year in the tree and become the default on major Linux distributions meaning thousands of people have installed on it, found all the showstopper bugs and had it patched in distro downstreams at least), you can bet Btrfs will be out and "stable" anyway, and you'll be asking about whether THAT is ready for production.
Use XFS now. Wait 18 months for Btrfs, if it is indeed any better. If not, and still looking for a filesystem challenge today, work out a way you can use ZFS - which has its problems on Linux (especially that it needs to run through FUSE - not a performance issue so much as a technical nightmare to use it as your root filesystem that no distro actually would support because of moronic non-free policies).
Re:I just call them Web Designers (586 comments)
True though. Just like getting into the IEEE and other engineering bodies, there's all that interning to do, working under another engineer for 5 years, being sponsored and then getting your accreditation as an actual Engineer and not just some guy who breezed through a Batchelor's degree.
Take an engineering degree (even in the USA) and this is one of the first things they talk to you about, and it gets revisited before final exams.
Re:I just call them Web Designers (586 comments)
Everywhere outside the USA (especially Canada) you can't call yourself an Engineer unless you have an Engineering degree
(that doesn't mean you can't get a job with the title "engineer", it's just a limitation on self-description).
Usually the best thing to do is rephrase Engineer to Developer or Programmer or Analyst..
Re:GCC compatibility (173 comments)
I find it hard to believe that the Linux kernel developers never heard of ICC. Or, to take another example, never used Codewarrior or XL C (IBM's PPC compiler, especially good for POWER5 and Cell) or DIAB (or Wind River Compiler or whatever they call it now). Or even Visual C++. Personally I've had the pleasure of using them all.. they all do things differently, but when you have a development team which is using more than one.. I once worked on a team where most of the developers had DIAB, but they didn't want to pay for licenses for EVERYONE, so it was just for the team leaders and release engineering guys, so we all got GCC instead. We had to be mindful not to break the release builds.. and the work ethic meant everything went pretty much fine all round.
All of them have at one time or still today produce much better code and have much better profiling than GCC and are used a lot in industry. If the commercial compiler doesn't do what you want or is too expensive, GCC is your fallback. Linux turns this on it's head because it "wants" to use as much free, GNU software, but I don't think the development process should be so inhibited as to ignore other compilers - especially considering they are generally always far better optimized for an architecture.
As a side note, it's well known that gcc 2.95.3 generates much better code on a lot of platforms, but some apps out there are refusing to compile with gcc 2.x (I'm looking at rtorrent here.. mainly because it's C++ and gcc 2.x C++ support sucks. This is another reason why commercial compilers are still popular
Like the article said, most of the problem, and the reason they have the wrapper, is to nuke certain gcc-specific and arch-specific arguments to the compiler, and the internal code is mostly making sure Linux has those differences implemented. There is a decent white-paper on it here. The notes about ICC being stricter in syntax checking are enlightening. If you write some really slack code, ICC will balk. GCC will happily chug along generating whatever code it likes. It's probably better all round (and might even improve code quality generated by GCC, note the quote about GCC "occasionally" doing the "right" thing when certain keywords are missing) if Linux developers are mindful of these warnings, but as I've said somewhere in this thread, Linux developers need some serious convincing on moving away from GCC (I've even heard a few say "well, you should fix GCC instead", rather than take a patch to fix their code to work in ICC)
Re:GCC compatibility (173 comments)
There's no reason you can't build your code to support all the tools you could possibly use to their fullest capacity, though. No reason at all. Except when one tool doesn't do something that the other does that you find important.
I very much doubt any C compiler shipping these days misses the features required to build the kernel, but the kernel developers only care about adding in GCC options and GCC pragmas and attributes.. in spite of those who would prefer to use some other compiler.
Re:GCC compatibility (173 comments)
yeah on a comments thread to some wanker who won't even get a Slashdot account..
in the grand scheme of things, not very important, wouldn't you say?

Antonio Cromartie Deletes His Twitter Account
Posted by Erik Manassy on May 9, 2012 in Main, Player Tweets | 0 comments
Outspoken CB on Twitter, Antonio Cromartie, has left the Twitter medium. Last night with his final tweet, Cro announced that he was taking down his page and to have fun, and just like that pooof, he was gone.
e_man RT @ACromartie: this is last post on twitter taking my page down have fun >> well that just sucks 5/8/12 9:11 PM |
I'm starting to see a trend where NFL players with large followers are leaving twitter. Now you have to ask yourself WHY? In the past two months I have seen former Jets Twitter King Kerry Rhodes @KerryRhodes delete his account as well as Plaxico Burress (@Plax), Matt Slauson and now Cromartie.
Te be fair, Matt was on twitter about two weeks, tried it and then quit.
One thing that is common amogst the list above. All have been very outspoken on twitter. All have taken major heat on twitter. All have had a long list of haters spewing garbage at them and I'm wondering if this played into each player quitting.
Cromartie has a nice history of controversial tweets:
- He was going to smash QB's Matt Hasselbacks Face in
- He tweeted he didn't want Tim Tebow on the Jets and then back tracked when he was traded
- Cromartie wanted Jets fans on twitter to calm down about Free Agent Reggie Nelson
- If you had a problem with Mark Sanchez, he told fans to suck on a Lemon
- Cromartie at one point was deemed a selfish player and he jumped to twitter saying he was a team player
- Cro wanted the Jets to go after Peyton Manning
- Cromartie used Twitter to call out opponents the week of the game
There are many articles about how great twitter can be, but I'm sure that I've seen some ugliness from fans, and just other people who can turn on a dime and be really nasty to celebrities and each other.
I don't blame anyone for quitting as having this account draws attention on you especially if you are a celebrity, and I'm sure most fans and media have the notifications turned on waiting for every single tweet from the accounts. One little slip, and you can end up on Sports Center with your tweet front and center.
The one that really surprised me was Kerry Rhodes. He was approaching 1 million followers and a follower-ship like that is a marketer's dream.
Tim Tebow who has 1.4 million followers has much value to his follower-ship. Using a tool, I was able to calculate his account is worth $675,781 (rank #435 out of 398294). To give it perspective, Lady Gaga who has the most followers on twitter (23 Million!) is worth $11,965,331.
To simply delete your account and that value might be ill advised, but maybe the downside out weighed the upside. You would have to ask each player why they did it.
I personally will miss Cro's tweets. You may have to follow his wife @iluvTERRICKA to get the scoop on Cro.
TheSheikh @iluvTERRICKA Hey everything ok with Cro? 5/8/12 5:36 PM |
iluvTERRICKA @TheSheikh yea he is fine 5/8/12 5:36 PM |

PHILADELPHIA - Severe thunderstorms across the northeastern U.S. delayed flights, halted outdoor sports events and concerts in New York and Philadelphia and sent people scurrying from a beach after three men were struck by lightning.
The men were injured at a beach in New York City's Bronx section Sunday evening as bad storms rolled through, the Fire Department of New York said. The men were being treated at a hospital and the extent of their injuries was unknown.
Torrential rain, thunder and lightning interrupted the Labor Day holiday weekend celebrations in Philadelphia, where a music concert was evacuated for safety reasons. Labor Day marks the traditional end of summer in the U.S.
Besides temporarily stopping the Made in America concert, the bad weather also forced the early end to the Electric Zoo musical festival on an island in New York's East River and halted play for the first time at this year's U.S. Open tennis tournament in Queens.
Former champion Maria Sharapova took notice of the weather warnings as she answered questions about her loss to 10th-seeded Caroline Wozniacki just before the storm hit.
"Is that the flood warning? Darn it. If I was only there a little longer," she said to laughter.
The National Weather Service said wind damage and flash flooding hit East Orange, New Jersey, and large tree branches were down on Long Island.
More than 30 flights in and out of the New York metro area were delayed and at least one was cancelled because of the severe weather, according to the flight tracking website FlightAware. Storms also disrupted air travel in Philadelphia and the Baltimore-Washington region.
Flights leaving Newark Liberty in New Jersey and Washington Dulles in Virginia were held up nearly three hours, the Federal Aviation Administration said. Flights in and out of New York's Kennedy Airport and Philadelphia International Airport were delayed up to two hours.
In the Midwest, storms began sweeping across Iowa and Nebraska late Sunday with heavy rains causing some flooding and wind gusts affecting power lines and snapping tree limbs.
The National Weather Service said Iowa and Nebraska saw winds up to 90 mph (145 kph) that caused significant damage.

Psoriasis - Cause
The exact cause of psoriasis isn't known.
Doctors believe that the immune system overreacts, causing inflammation and flaking of skin.
While the underlying cause of psoriasis stems from your body's immune system, certain triggers can make symptoms worse or cause flare-ups. These psoriasis triggers include: Cold and dry weather. Such weather can dry out your skin, which makes the chances of having a flare-up worse. In contrast, hot, sunny weather appears to help control the symptoms of psoriasis in most people. Stress. Having psoriasis can itself cause stress, and patients often report that outbreaks of symptoms...
Read the Seven Psoriasis Triggers article > >
Many scientists believe that psoriasis can be inherited. About one-third of people who have psoriasis have one or more family members with the condition.1 But it isn't clear that genetic factors alone determine whether you get psoriasis.
Psoriasis isn't contagious—it can't be spread by touch from person to person.

To days society is none forgiving and it seems that we need to take a good look at ourselves.
We make laws that makes no sense we in prison those who break laws that have no impact of today's world because we are not that society to forget. If we lock some one up for committing a crime and that person servers his time did that person pay back to you and the law that stated "you for what one has done they must serve five to ten years". Did that person give out of his or her life the time that was dictated by you the time you request?
Now allow me to ask you this when do one pay back society? In some state all rights are striped away from any one who has paid their dues from them how do you say on one hand for committing a thief the judge gives you a sentence of ten twenty years. After one has done that what was by law in which society set up only to find that he or she must serve that same theft over and over again.
No work cannot rent a place to live, but I paid that in which the laws stated I must do, this is a set up to fail they are not expected to succeed they are expected to return to prison. In most cases this is what happens one must have something to eat or a place to live.
I read where a person who had been in prison won the lottery and some thought that the person with the ticket should not have the money yet that person payed what ever the price of that ticket cost. We are selfish unforgiving and hurtful of others.
Shouldn't we be rehabilitating these people so that they can migrate back into society and become law a biding citizens. Shouldn't Correctional Centers be just that a correctional center instead of jailers with guns and night sticks. Most of these people are just as bad a those they are suppose to be correcting. How does one correct some one if they themselves need some oversight into someones life, without training on how one should treat another person. I have visited those place and can tell you first hand most of the guards that are there know one thing how to hurt another person.
It us up to each of us to see that our brother sister is safe. This I agree with but if one sell drugs or sell a gun even having a gun with out firing it why should this person pay for the rest of his or her life for it. Why do they go back to doing the same things because this is the only way they can make on the outside. Remember they cannot become employed doing the best of times now that the economy the way it is today. I cannot say.
What I do know is some changes need to be done and I will such out to find out what to do.

Landline, Rainbow Rowell
Though they still love each other, Georgie and Neal's marriage is in trouble. Two days before they are supposed to take their two kids to Neal's family in Omaha for Christmas, something comes up at Georgie's job and she can't go. When Neal takes the kids anyway, Georgie wonders if their marriage is over. But when she finds a way to communicate with Neal in the past, she feels like she's been given an opportunity to fix her marriage before it starts. Is that what she's supposed to do?

If you ask me, awarding prizes for works of art--whether they be books, movies or single malt scotches--is pretty silly, if not quixotic. I mean, how can we pretend to objectively declare something as complex as a novel or nuanced as a great pop song to be "better" than another when most of us have our hands full deciding whether M&Ms or Reese's Pieces would go better with our Double Dutch Chocolate frozen yogurt?

31 Days of Horror: Planet Terror (2007)
31 Days of Horror By J.L. Sosa on October 28, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThey said it couldn't be done. A fifth year of 31 Days of Horror? 31 more terror, gore and shower scene-filled movies worth highlighting? But Rejects always say die and never back away from a challenge, so we've rounded up the horror fans among us and put together another month's worth of genre fun. Enjoy! Synopsis In Robert Rodriguez's instant zombie classic, a small Texas town becomes ground zero for a gruesome epidemic when the Army's "Project Terror" – a biochemical doomsday weapon – mutates a platoon of soldiers (and eventually most of the townspeople) into raving, pustulent cannibals. Leading the charge against the zombies are a hard-assed sheriff (Michael Biehn), a lone wolf with a checkered past (Freddy Rodriguez (no relation to Robert)) and Cherry Darling – a one-legged go-go dancer (Rose McGowan). Of course, she's not one-legged at the start of the film. That would make no sense. How she loses the leg and winds up with a machine gun prosthetic is a tale for the annals of horror legend.
Eli Roth Is Ready to Invite You to 'Thanksgiving'
In Development By Nathan Adams on August 23, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhen Grindhouse hit theaters back in 2007, its main attractions were Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's feature length segments of the anthology, Planet Terror and Death Proof. But after the release came and went, a lot of the buzz surrounding the project wasn't about the two films that played back-to-back, but the series of trailers for fake films that got sandwiched in between. Rodriguez has already launched his fake trailer, Machete, into a real-life feature film that was successful enough to spawn a sequel – but what about Eli Roth and his segment, Thanksgiving? After Grindhouse got released, much of the praise for the tribute to B-movies came from how authentic to shoddy old '70s advertisements Roth's holiday-themed horror trailer was. The stupid voice narrating, the terrible acting, the bad dialogue, the person roasted like a turkey…it had it all. Roth has intimated in the past that he has plans to turn Thanksgiving into a real-life feature, but that's been going on for years now, and we've still got nada. So what's the deal? Well, according to a new interview the director did with Behind the Thrills, he's finally cracked the story, is preparing a screenplay, and presumably will keep things moving from there.
Popping the Grindhouse 'Cherry Bomb' with Director Kyle Day
Austin Cinematic Limits By Don Simpson on July 9, 2012 | Comments (1)Kyle Day's first feature, Cherry Bomb, plays as an homage to the gritty and sexy grindhouse and sexplotation flicks of the early 1980s. The film's protagonist, Cherry (Julin Jean), is an exotic dancer who is attacked by a group of men in the strip club where she works. When the hospitalized Cherry learns that her assailants have avoided arrest, she vows to kill them all and let god sort them out. Thanks to an impressive trailer that spread like wildfire throughout the blogosphere, Well Go USA Entertainment took notice and snagged the rights to release the Austin-filmed Cherry Bomb on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital. To celebrate the film's official home video release on July 10, The Show! Austin is screening Cherry Bomb at the Alamo Drafthouse Slaughter Lane. There will be a Q&A after the screening with director Kyle Day, writer-producer Garrett Hargrove and actors Julin Jean and Denise Williamson. Of course, the screening sold out well in advance via Tugg; so if you do not already have a ticket, you will just have to read our interview with Kyle Day and then watch Cherry Bomb on Blu-ray, DVD or Digital (or vice versa).
'Father's Day' is the Best Anal Raping Ultra Violent Troma Gorefest in Decades
Features By Robert Fure on March 8, 2012 | Comments (1)Troma is many things to many people. Scratch that. Troma is either one of two things to some people. If you grew up watching classic Troma flicks like The Toxic Avenger, Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD, or Tromeo & Juliet, you probably have a soft spot for the low budget film company headed by icon Lloyd Kaufman. If, however, you missed out on these classics and instead just picked up some of the more recent offerings, you probably think Troma is a pile of shit. I have a lot of respect for Troma. I'm a big fan of Lloyd Kaufman and I've read three of his "Damn Movie" books. History should remember him in the same vein as Roger Corman – a low budget businessman with a vision. Few people have had a bigger impact on the world of independent film. Even I must admit that in recent years, the offerings from Troma have not always been fantastic. Much like how Corman disappeared for years, Kaufman too shrank back from the public eye. Movies were made, but little attention was paid. With the recent success of his books though, Kaufman and Troma are coming back in a big way and leading that charge is Father's Day.
'Dear God No!' Trailer Delivers Blood, Blood, Boobs and More Blood
Movie News By Scott Beggs on August 9, 2011 | Comments (5)The trailer for grindhouse throwback Dear God No! makes a bold claim, but it looks like it can easily back it up. It's a promise that the film will have wanton violence, swinging breasts, and alliteration. Yes, dear reader, roving rapist bike gangs love poetic devices. It's definitely not for the kiddos, and we're all working on the honor system here, but the amount of silly brutality in this thing might not even be safe for some adults. The amount of nudity, people will probably be able to handle. Plus, it's got a handy NSFW poster (from The Dude Designs) to go with it. Go ahead and bask in all its glory:
Weekly DVD Drinking Game: Drive Angry
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on May 30, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, the Nicolas Cage 3D grindhouse flick Drive Angry hits video store shelves. And while it's not be a good idea to drink and drive, it can be quite fun to drink while watching Drive Angry. In the tradition of Planet Terror, Death Proof and Machete, Drive Angry features plenty of violence, fast cars and boobs. Surely, it will be on the short list come Oscar season next year. Get a jump on your awards ballot by checking this movie out, knowing it will just get better the more you play this game.
This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we talk with veteran voice actor Steve Blum and Hobo With a Shotgun director Jason Eisener. Plus, Erin McCarthy from Popular Mechanics and Will Goss from Film.com tackle the Movie News Pop Quiz and maybe, just maybe find some love along the way. By that, I mean a loving concern for summer blockbusters like Harry Potter and Transformers 3. Listen Here: Download This Episode
SXSW Review: 'Hobo with a Shotgun' Delivers Shakespearean Levels of Depravity
Movie Reviews By Brian Salisbury on March 20, 2011 | Be the First To CommentHobo with a Shotgun is a gritty, nasty, depraved movie that no parent should let their child watch…and I loved every goddamn minute of it. It's rare that we film journos are given the opportunity to be reduced to slimy, foul-mouthed 12-year-olds within the safe confines of a movie theater, but I'll be a tiny little bastard if this film didn't turn me into…a tiny little bastard. Its brazen conceit and relentless insanity touched upon all the things that pint-sized Brian loved about watching movies. But, as Attack the Block taught us, it's not simply enough to compile the various pieces of genre films in a room together and expect them to play nice. And while Hobo with a Shotgun isn't aiming for the same socially relevant subtext and deeper meaning of Attack the Block, within the rules it establishes from the onset, it shoots for the same high score in excellence. Scratch the surface of Hobo with a Shotgun, divorce yourself from the wickedly indecent content, and you will find a damn fine film that excels on almost every technical and artistic level. I am incredibly impressed with Jason Eisener as a director. There is a certain expectation with which one enters a film knowing that it began life as a trailer created to win a contest. But Eisener goes to such great lengths to tell his story in a way that is both stylishly entertaining and visually interesting that it's hard not to be taken in by it. […]
Long Overdue 'Grindhouse' Blu-ray Enters the World with a Whimper
Movie News By Neil Miller on October 5, 2010 | Comments (19)Remember when all of the chatter online was about a Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez double feature team up known as Grindhouse? This is in a time before it made a less than impressive box office run in April 2o07. At the time, the still unknown power of the internet was cited as the reason for the event film's surefire success. Then it failed at the box office. But that didn't stop us from enjoying it. Nor did it stop us from counting down the days until the home video release, one that would undoubtedly include a two-disc edition with both movies and all of the awesome intermission trailers. And then that didn't happen. The two films were released separately, much to the dismay of the world of geekdom. Now here we are, more than three years later, and today will see the release of Grindhouse in its intended form: as a two-disc Blu-ray set complete with trailers, extras and more. So why aren't we talking about it with the fervor of yesteryear? Why hasn't this release taken its place among the year's most anticipated? Well, it has been three years since all of the hoopla was squelched by sad box office numbers and pundits who were quick to point fingers at the internet's lack of clout. And perhaps we've all forgotten that this is the release we've been waiting for all along. It has me wondering, quite simply: do we even care anymore? Or was our love for Grindhouse […]
This Week in Blu-ray: Beauty and the Beast, Troll 2, Humphrey Bogart and The Human Centipede
Blu-ray Spotlight By Neil Miller on October 5, 2010 | Be the First To CommentThe winds of change are blowing here in Austin, Texas. With Fantastic Fest over, a tad-bit of emptiness has washed over the land and left me yearning for more great genre experiences. Which brings me to this week's selection of Blu-ray releases — one that includes a few unique genre flicks and one lovable turd that reminds me of a documentary that was launched into the stratosphere by the film community here in Austin. Also, there's this animated movie from the Mouse House that will absolutely blow your mind on Blu-ray. It's as if the cosmos has looked down upon us in our post-Fantastic Fest haze and said "hey, here are some good movies to satiate your need for the good stuff." It's a week full of releases that are delivered right on time, just as the leaves start to change and Halloween begins to peek its head around the corner. Time to spray blood on the walls and fall in love again with a tale as old as time, or some other confused multi-metaphor. It's another round of This Week in Blu-ray.

After some witty banter, he and Cole discuss the finer points of racial tension, bring Jan de Bont to a gun fight, and take a look back on our entirely appropriate relationship with Robert Rodriguez. Plus, we find time to review Machete, The American, and Going the Distance.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: September 3, 2010
Features By Kevin Carr on September 3, 2010 | Comments (5)This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr jumps feet first into the world of exploitation pictures. He rips off his shirt to show his prison tats when he sees Machete and then becomes a weapons expert to go head-to-head with George Clooney in The American. Finally, he cringes and rolls his eyes at yet another crappy real-life couple love story with Going the Distance. It's sad when the highlight of his moviegoing weekend is a Lindsay Lohan nip slip.

UF Student Persuades Alumni to Drop Ringling
gribbley/CC by 2.0 |
Not convinced that one can make a difference? When University of Florida (UF) student—and former PETA intern—Jared Misner found out that the school's alumni association was offering discounted tickets to the hideously cruel Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, he met with the leaders of the group. After Jared let the alumni association know that PETA exposés have revealed that Ringling abuses animals in fear-based and violent training sessions—dragging baby elephants away from their mothers, slamming them to the ground, gouging them with steel-tipped bullhooks, and shocking them with electric prods—the group pledged never to promote the circus again!
Kudos to Jared, who will receive PETA's One Can Make a Difference Award. And remember, never hesitate to speak out against animal abuse—yours might be the voice that saves an animal's life.

Ringling = abuse to animals. I will never, ever go!!! Good for you Jard xo
Really Thank you,Jared for standing up for a voiceless prisoner's at that horrible circus. I went to Ringling Bros show one time and never went back. One poor Tiger was terrified and had a large rancid bone covered in green flies in his cage which was sitting in the middle of a boiling hot parking lot in July in Louisiana. All animals in ANY circus or carnival should and must be freed to a retreat just for them. mch
Very inspirational. Thank you for doing that Jared!
Great work – go, Jared!!

A few day ago, I posted about a Wordpress .htaccess redirect hack that happened to me.
So I wrote a Python script that will help me find any .htaccess files that had the redirect domain. I uploaded it to my home folder in my server. Then used SSH to run it. Any Linux server most likely has Python installed. So you can run this script using:
python htaccess_hack_finder.py
It will then print out:
Bad: /location/of/bad
Each time it finds the string, which in my case was a few times for each file. Then you just open your FTP, find the bad files and remove the hack. This script will actually work to find any string in an .htaccess file.
I saw your last post and see that you were missing the wordpress hardening for your WP Blog..You also should have get hold of your hosting provider to see how can avoid such future attempts, as there are tons of Wp exploits. .htaccess is just one of them. Having a WP blog is not something you can install and forget, it requires you to manage them, harden them from such attacks...
I've been having this kind of problem. My developer can't seem to find a solution but I'll have him see this script you got. Thanks for sharing. Great help for me!
Every time I do something on the internet, like write a blog post, there's always that fear of getting hacked any minute while I'm logged off, that keeps lurking in my mind. After all, so much of time, energy and effort goes into making and maintaining a blog. I'm always trying to figure out a way to keep it hack-proof or at least keep a track of any attempts of the same. But it all is so complicated sometimes, I don't get it. But with the help of this proper step by step representation, I find my confidence and courage a little restored! :D Thanks. Good job, there!

The handheld's position as a mass-market device is less clear at the moment, especially with Sony loudly positioning the portable as a hardcore machine first.
But that's not to say the potential isn't there; Vita's large, multi-touch display is definitely more inviting than the DS family's pint-sized dual-screens, and surprisingly well-implemented social features, including friend lists, Trophies and Near - a nod to 3DS Street Pass - show big promise in the wider gaming space.
The Vita's touchscreen backend menus - which do away with PS3's aging XMB design - are another casual-pleasing highlight, taking strong influence from smartphones and allowing users to quickly and intuitively switch between multiple applications.
Ultimately, at a £230 base price and with a roster of core titles, it's difficult to recommend Vita on day one to anybody but committed game players - and that's certainly Sony's target audience for the time being.
Eventually, the handheld's flexibility will likely open up to wider possibilities - there's no reason Vita shouldn't be at least attempting to offer those bite-sized Angry Birds style experiences that work so well on iOS. But for now it feels very much like a hardcore gamer's machine, which is reflected by the price of the system and its software, which range from £20 to £40.
Rival tablets and smartphones will eventually run titles like Uncharted: Golden Abyss with the same visual splendour, but without Vita's dual sticks and buttons they'll never play the same.
And that's how Sony - despite strong competition from iOS devices and the cheaper 3DS - has manoeuvred Vita into a unique position in the portable market. If you're a core gamer with a disposable income, consider picking one up.
Impressive technology, uncompromised control inputs and a strong software line-up mean Vita is already a brilliant hardcore gaming handheld - if you can afford it.
- Console-quality games on the go
- Gorgeous OLED screen
- An abundance of control inputs
- Pricey memory cards required for some games
- Battery life is on the short side

GREAT FALLS — A mix of winter weather and warming temperatures across the state led to avalanches, treacherous driving conditions, school delays and widespread flooding Thursday.
In southwestern Montana, rapid snowmelt sent water running over the highways near Boulder, Whitehall, Toston, Manhattan and Livingston. Dozens of residents of a Livingston condominium remained evacuated Thursday, while others put sandbags near their homes.
In the northwestern part of the state, a series of avalanches Wednesday night and Thursday morning blocked the BNSF Railway tracks between Ennis and Marias Pass.
BNSF spokesman Matt Jones said the railway has halted all rail traffic in the area south of Glacier National Park due to the threat of continued slides. The company received permission from park officials to conduct avalanche control in the area, which included closing U.S. Highway 2 on the southern edge of Glacier National Park for a few hours Thursday afternoon.
Track cleaning efforts had not yet begun as of mid-day, and Jones said it was unclear how long the rail line would be blocked.
Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said the railroad will continue to bus Empire Builder passengers between stations in Shelby and Whitefish.
School buses did not run in Great Falls or Havre on Thursday morning, and several schools delayed their start time or canceled classes in the Havre area. Montana State-Northern didn't hold its first classes until 11 a.m.
Freezing rain fell across parts of north-central Montana on Thursday.
"City roads, power lines, sidewalks, everything is coated in ice," National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Brusda told the Great Falls Tribune.
Roads from Cascade north to the Canadian border and from Great Falls east to the North Dakota border were icy in the morning, but by afternoon, only highways in the Havre area were icy, according to the Department of Transportation.
The frontage road along U.S. Highway 89 east of Great Falls was closed temporarily due to a two-vehicle crash that claimed the life of a student at C.M. Russell High School in Great Falls.
In southern Montana, the National Weather Service issued a flood advisory for several areas, and local flooding was reported in 13 counties. Flood warnings were issued in Gallatin, Park counties.
The city of Livingston declared a state of emergency after melting snow flooded creeks and ditches and sent water running down city streets.
The flooding started at about 8 p.m. Wednesday, forcing dozens of residents to flee a condominium. About 50 of them remained evacuated Thursday. Residents of the south side of Livingston were encouraged to sandbag in front of their homes, and the Livingston City Center was open to those who were evacuated due to the flooding.
Warm temperatures over the past several days have caused snow from last week's strong storm to melt.
"There's nowhere for that water to go because the ground is frozen," Aaron Gilstad, a NWS meteorologist in Billings, told the Livingston Enterprise. "A lot of the culverts have frozen up, which would normally help get that water out of the area.
Lewis and Clark County commissioners declared an emergency due to flooding in the Helena Valley.

During the blessed holy month of Ramadan, and in fulfillment of its Corporate Social Responsibility Program, a delegation from Qatar Railways Company (Qatar Rail) paid a visit to Dhreima (Qatar Orphan Foundation), voicing appreciation for its humanitarian efforts in supporting orphans in Qatar and satisfying the needs of disadvantaged children.
The delegation led by Qatar Rail's Deputy CEO Eng. Hamad al Bishri, and Executive Director of Administration Eng. Meshal Abdulla al-Obaidan, were in turn received by the foundation's director, Mr. Khaled Kamal, who accompanied the delegation on an inspection tour across the different departments of the foundation, introducing them to the social services and activities organized by Dhreima throughout the year.
Qatar Rail's delegation also got to know the various events in which the children take part, both inside and outside the foundation, in what secures a natural ambiance and normal life to the children and gives them the chance of building a better future.
Speaking during the visit, Qatar Rail's Deputy CEO Eng. Hamad al Bishri said, "On behalf of the Qatar Railway company, we express gratefulness to the excessive efforts of Dhreima officials and their continuous quest to help children experience a normal life. As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility strategy, Qatar Rail is committed to supporting the hard work of charities and humanitarian foundations, in order to meet the needs of different segments of our community and bring about a positive change in their lives."
He added: "As we strongly believe in the principle of social solidarity and the importance of the virtue of sharing in this holy month, Qatar Rail confirms permanent readiness to extend a helping hand to Dhreima and work with the foundation for serving the future of our children".
The Qatar Rail delegation also roamed inside the foundation's library, where it got introduced to the interlibrary system for children and methods of supervising them while browsing online through the help of teachers and specialists, in addition to a tour at the Cultural Center where works of art for children of all ages are displayed.
The visit comes within the framework of Qatar Rail's social efforts and initiatives during the holy month of Ramadan, as the company is cooperating with the Zakat Fund and Qatar Charity to direct aids donated by its employees to those in need. Qatar Rail is looking forward to draw joy on the faces of the neediest through donations with promoting synergy between the members of the society.

Favourite Games: Trying to choose favourite games is a little like trying to choose between my children; i.e. pretty much impossible. I've played and loved so many -- even bad ones -- that picking out the best is an exercise in futility. Instead, I'll list a bunch I've played, and really enjoyed, recently (13/06/09):
Assassin's Creed, BioShock, Fallout 3, Flower, Heavenly Sword, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, SingStar, Super Mario Galaxy, PixelJunk: Monsters, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, The Elder Scrolls IV: The Oblivion, Valkyria Chronicles, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, Wii Fit, WipEout HD
However, the more I think on this, the more titles come to mind...
Favourite Music: I listen to a lot of music and have no strong preference for any genre; it all depends upon my mood, really. From metal to classical, from pop to alternative, I'm not too fussed. Current artists flooding my ears include:
Bach, Barber, Billy Joel, Clannad, Fields of the Nephilim, Fleetwood Mac, Foo Fighters, Lily Allen, Linkin Park, Metallica, Michael Jackson, Mika, Muse, Nirvana, Placebo, Rhianna, Scissor Sisters, Sky, Sugababes, Take That (new stuff), The Killers.
However, that is just the tip of the iceberg; providing a full list would take up most of this page.
Favourite Films: I love movies. I have a pretty eclectic taste, and enjoy everything from serious thrillers to mindless blockbusters, from over-the-top slashers to romantic comedies (yes, I know that's uncool -- I don't care). Movies I've watched and enjoyed this year (2008-2009) include:
300, Alien, Descent, Fellowship of the Ring, Léon, Lost Boys (I've watched this movie far too many times), Love Actually, Momento, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Pulp Fiction, Stardust, Sweeny Todd, The Dark Knight, The Duchess, The Matrix, The Princess Bride, The Usual Suspects.
That said, I do enjoy sci-fi, fantasy, and vampire films of all types, even the bad ones -- they're a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine (especially vampire films).
Favourite Books: I've always gravitated towards science fiction and fantasy as a nurtured preference, but I count books from most genres amongst my favourites. I also love graphic novels, and don't read as many as I'd wish. The following are some of my stand-out titles:
Dune, Dracula, His Dark Materials, Hyperium, Illium, Orlando, Paradise Lost, Peter Pan and Wendy, Promethea, The Eternal Champion, The Eyre Affair, The Strange Case of Dr. Jykll and Mr. Hyde, Time Enough for Love, War of the Worlds, Watchmen.
Really, I don't read as much as I'd like to anymore, primarily because gaming constantly seems to get in the way...
Hobbies: Fortunately, my hobbies are also my job: tabletop roleplaying, drawing, cartography, writing, photoshopping, chatting to cool peeps, reading - lots of reading -, and general roleplaying games design. I freelance as a writer, artist, and cartographer for a number of game companies, which means I get paid to do my hobbies. Nice. I'm probably best known for my work in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.
Besides that, I look after my two kids at home -- so I visit parks, mess around, sing songs badly, cook, and other similar stiff. Of them all, I probably enjoy cooking the most, but don't do it as much as I'd like (the story of my life).
Oh, and I play a lot of games on my consoles and PCs, but that much should be obvious.
About Me: I'm a house-dad who freelances in his spare time. I'm a geek on more levels than many can stand. I can juggle. I like crisps too much (chips for you American peeps). I'm a touch too loud and am known for being the happy, chatty one. I'm Scottish and, yes, I like to wear a skirt.

BMC Evolutionary Biology 2012, 12:45 doi:10.1186/1471-2148-12-45
Published: 2 April 2012Abstract
The study of speciation and maintenance of species barriers is at the core of evolutionary biology. During speciation the genome of one population becomes separated from other populations of the same species, which may lead to genomic incompatibility with time. This separation is complete when no fertile offspring is produced from inter-population matings, which is the basis of the biological species concept. Birds, in particular ducks, are recognised as a challenging and illustrative group of higher vertebrates for speciation studies. There are many sympatric and ecologically similar duck species, among which fertile hybrids occur relatively frequently in nature, yet these species remain distinct.
We show that the degree of shared single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between five species of dabbling ducks (genus Anas) is an order of magnitude higher than that previously reported between any pair of eukaryotic species with comparable evolutionary distances. We demonstrate that hybridisation has led to sustained exchange of genetic material between duck species on an evolutionary time scale without disintegrating species boundaries. Even though behavioural, genetic and ecological factors uphold species boundaries in ducks, we detect opposing forces allowing for viable interspecific hybrids, with long-term evolutionary implications. Based on the superspecies concept we here introduce the novel term "supra-population" to explain the persistence of SNPs identical by descent within the studied ducks despite their history as distinct species dating back millions of years.
By reviewing evidence from speciation theory, palaeogeography and palaeontology we propose a fundamentally new model of speciation to accommodate our genetic findings in dabbling ducks. This model, we argue, may also shed light on longstanding unresolved general speciation and hybridisation patterns in higher organisms, e.g. in other bird groups with unusually high hybridisation rates. Observed parallels to horizontal gene transfer in bacteria facilitate the understanding of why ducks have been such an evolutionarily successful group of animals. There is large evolutionary potential in the ability to exchange genes among species and the resulting dramatic increase of effective population size to counter selective constraints.
